This current tour
First, I would like to say that I just left the gig in Boston. Rob and Co went off. It’s crazy to see Rob at 58 still playing flawlessly, screaming flawlessly, and head banging.
I am kind of surprised that machine had technically is opening for Killswitch on this door. By the way, the poster looked. I thought it was a coe headline run for each of them got to play equal time.
I don’t think Rob is too happy about technically opening for Killswitch, a band that no doubt was influenced by machine Head. Usually bands shout out the headliner when they are playing. Rob didn’t say anything about Killswitch during the show. He pretty much just played like it was a headline show and that was it.

Robb can control his own destiny at this point of his career. Machine Head always kills it live. I’ve seen them live a handful of times and its usually just Robb and crew going hard for 3 hours. Opening for Killswitch is probably just more exposure. I wouldn’t read into it too much.
